The housing crisis has given birth to a new kind of exploiter: the sleep merchants. Their strategy is simple: to sublet apartments at a high price to undocumented workers. To make the most of the situation, the sleep merchants do not hesitate to charge several hundred francs for each bed, each mattress and each square meter.
